Meta will finally put AI features into its Ray-Ban smart glasses soon

Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses

If you bought Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses last year, they're about to get a good deal more useful.

According to the New York Times, the long-awaited AI features that have been available in early access for some users since December are rolling out wide starting next month. These features include the abilities to identify certain animals and fruits by looking at them, as well as limited language translation for English, Spanish, Italian, German, and French.

This is a boon to Meta Ray-Ban owners because, up until now, Meta's smart glasses haven't really felt like smart glasses. There's already a very limited AI featureset included with the glasses, but it's basically an even less useful version of Siri right now. You can use it to make phone calls or snap photos, but it's not great for much else.

It remains to be seen exactly how useful these new AI features will be, but hey, at least it's a reason to try on those glasses again.

When the clocks change for Daylight Saving Time, and why we do it at all

The clocks on our smartphones do something bizarre twice a year: One day in the spring, they jump ahead an hour, and our alarms go off an hour sooner. We wake up bleary-eyed and confused until we remember what just happened. Afterward, "Daylight Saving Time" becomes the norm for about eight months (And yes, it's called "Daylight Saving" not "Daylight Savings." I don't make the rules). Then, in the fall, the opposite happens. Our clocks set themselves back an hour, and we wake up refreshed, if a little uneasy.  Mild chaos ensues at both annual clock changes. What feels like an abrupt and drastic lengthening or shortening of the day causes time itself to seem fictional. Babies and dogs demand that their old sleep and feeding habits remain unchanged. And more consequential effects — for better or worse — may be involved as well (more on which in a minute). Changing our clocks is an all-out attack on our perception of time as an immutable law of ...

A speeding black hole is birthing baby stars across light years

Astronomers think they have discovered a supermassive black hole traveling away from its home galaxy at 4 million mph — so fast it's not doing what it's notorious for: sucking light out of the universe. Quite the opposite, possibly. Rather than ripping stars to shreds and swallowing up every morsel, this black hole is believed to be fostering new star formation, leaving a trail of newborn stars stretching 200,000 light-years through space . Pieter van Dokkum, an astronomy professor at Yale University, said as the black hole rams into gas, it seems to trigger a narrow corridor of new stars, where the gas has a chance to cool. How exactly it works, though, isn't known, said van Dokkum, who led research on the phenomenon captured by NASA 's Hubble Space Telescope accidentally. A paper on the findings was published last week in The Astrophysical Journal Letters . “What we’re seeing is the aftermath," he said in a statement . "Like the wake behind a ship, we’r...
